Le Toade

Took a pic of a toad, make it stand out. Maybe I'll do something more with him later. Flying through space? Visiting the seven wonders?

I did a project for a German course at school, where I interviewed a German-Canadian community member in order to create a video. As she is an avid crafter, and volunteers at the ChristKindl Markt, we did needle felting during the interview, and I made a time-lapse of me creating a maple leaf, using Germany's flag's colours. I also included an image of die Weihnachtsmännern that we created. Do you like? I had fun making them.
My friend's daughter, Maggie, saved me from certain doom, when a giant fireball suddenly appeared from the ocean! Or...one of my earlier attempts at image compositing. Not my best work, but it was fun to make.
As a challenge to see if I could trick others, I put Kanye West on stage with Three Days of Staind Nickelcreed. Would it have tricked you? Let me know, and share, if you must! (You must.)
Here's an image that seems to have suffered some scissor damage! But with some time, and patience, that portrait is better than new! Even the arm is only mildly disconcerting, when you stare at it. Don't stare.
I've gone and made a 90 frame video intro for a Youtube series that I might or might not start. I've used the name "Grokology", as it is my domain name, and my minecraft username.
Here is an early test render of one of the frames. There have been many tweaks since then, but the effect is mainly the same.
This logo, which is a fake logo for a real company, was done to practise my GIMP skills. I will continue adding more to the series.
Please feel free to comment and let me know what you think. If you're interested in having your logo redesigned, contact me for a quote.
I got a new Logitech HD webcam (1920x1080), and wasn't having much luck doing time-lapse because the method that I was using with the 2.1MP webcam was using too many cpu cycles.
